Intended Use
The Tactile Guidance System is intended to assist the surgeon in providing software defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to anatomical structures during orthopedic procedures. The Tactile Guidance System is indicated for use in surgical knee procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to rigid anatomical bony structures can be identified relative to a CT based model of the anatomy. These procedures include: Unicondylar knee replacement .
Device Description
The TGS is a stereotaxic instrument that includes an optical detector, computer, dedicated instrumentation, operating software, tools and accessories, and the TGS robotic arm. TGS uses patient CT data to assist the physician with presurgical planning and interpretive navigation. The TGS robotic arm, which is an add-on to the Navigation Module, serves as an "intelligent" tool holder or tool guide used by a surgeon for stereotactic guidance during minimally invasive orthopedic surgical procedures. The TGS robotic arm, an electromechanical arm, is passively constrained by softwaredefined spatial boundaries implemented through the use of the TGS robotic arm and is designed to support a surgeon's preparation of an anatomical site for an orthopedic implant with standard surgical tools such as drills, awls, and 3rd party drill systems.
More Information

No
The description focuses on stereotactic guidance, CT data processing for planning and navigation, and a robotic arm for passive constraint within software-defined boundaries. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for tasks like image analysis, decision support, or adaptive control. The "intelligent" tool holder description appears to refer to its ability to follow software-defined constraints, not AI-driven intelligence.

No.
The "Intended Use" states that the device is intended to assist the surgeon "in providing software defined spatial boundaries for orientation and reference information to anatomical structures" and to assist the physician with "presurgical planning and interpretive navigation." The device primarily serves as a "tool guide" for precision during orthopedic procedures, rather than directly treating or diagnosing a disease or condition. Its function is to facilitate the surgeon's efforts in preparing the site for an implant.

No

The device is described as assisting in surgical guidance and preparation for orthopedic implants, not in diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states that the TGS includes an optical detector, computer, dedicated instrumentation, operating software, tools and accessories, and the TGS robotic arm, which is an electromechanical arm. This indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Tactile Guidance System is a surgical navigation and guidance system used during orthopedic procedures. It assists the surgeon with spatial orientation and reference information based on pre-operative CT data. It does not analyze biological samples from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for assisting the surgeon during surgical knee procedures.
  • Device Description: The description details a stereotaxic instrument with an optical detector, computer, robotic arm, etc., all used for surgical guidance, not for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Tactile Guidance System falls under the category of a surgical guidance or navigation system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Technological Characteristics: The TGS consists of the following basic components:

  • High Resolution Color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Touch Screen Monitor
  • Second High Resolution LCD screen that shows an identical image to the primary touch screen.
  • Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
  • Central Processing Unit (CPU)
  • Isolation Transformer
  • Keyboard and Mouse
  • Optical Detector
  • Operating Room (OR) Cart
  • Foot control panel
  • Tool and accessories optically tracked surgical tools and accessories
  • TGS robotic arm tool platform that is connected to the Voyager Navigation Platform to enable passive stereotactic guidance of any cleared standard surgical tool such as 30 party drill systems (e.g., Anspach's eMax (K011444)) to prepare anatomical sites for placement of orthopedic implants in a minimally invasive manner.
  • Voyager software application
  • Linux operating system
  • Software drivers for video grabber, standard components (keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc.)
  • Preoperative planning laptop that runs only the preoperative planning portion of the application. Dicom CDs of CT scans with patient data can be loaded and surgical plans can be created on this laptop and downloaded (in an encrypted format) to a USB memory stick to be transferred to the TGS.
